Chelsea Cutler and “The Beauty Is Everywhere Tour” made their 26th stop in Phoenix, Arizona. The Monday night show at the Van Buren did not feel like the sluggish Monday we all think of, and instead felt like a weekend night. Chelsea is touring on her 2023 album Stellaria, and is sprinkling in some of her best hits. Her indie sound pulls from bands such as Bon Iver, Coldplay, and the 1975, creating a fully rounded out sound. With the ability to pull from so many different areas, Chelsea’s setlist has everything from upbeat dance to hard hitting soul penetrating slower tunes.
The show was opened by Adrian Galvin, better known as Yoke Lore. Playing alongside his drummer, Yoke Lore is one of the more unique musical acts touring right now. Only playing between his two banjos, Yoke Lore brings his folk sound to life with his performance. It's difficult to play alone or with one other person on the stage, however Adrian does not let that affect him. Through his songs and dance moves, Yoke Lore sets the bar high going into Chelsea's headline set.
Chelsea opens her set on a stage, built on the stage. The platform is lined with light bulbs, and centers Chelsea complemented by her band. She opened with "Something More", and "I Don't Feel Alive", both tunes from her 2023 album Stellaria. Then followed up third by “Cold Showers”, one of her more popular songs. She told the crowd she was battling a cold after being on tour for weeks, and was a bit run down. Although she still sounded incredible, she took the unique opportunity to engage the crowd and have everyone sing with her. For it being a Monday night, the engagement was spectacular. She made jokes, taught folks the lyrics, and even had a fan come up on stage. Covering Noah Kahan’s part on "Crazier Things", fan Abby more than just covered the part. As Chelsea's US tour wraps up, she will head to Australia in May. She brings a lot to the stage, even being under the weather, and is an extremely talented songwriter.
